Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact A. M. Appraisals

Are you working with a real estate agent to list your property? Quite often they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes similar sales in your local area. It's a customary starting point when deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to minimize the house's time on the market and maximize your profit, this is a really important step.

In our opinion, though, you might also wish to consider an appraisal from someone who's sole occupation is to analyze real estate - PRIOR to listing your property - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

And that's where A. M. Appraisals comes in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

A. M. Appraisals can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will interest buyers, and we can also:

• Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you have found an interested buyer
• Provide written proof of your house's shape inside and out to wow potential buyers
• Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems that might delay your closing
• Decrease the chances of unexpected disputes that cause negotiations to break down
• Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal will close.
